HUTT TRAMWAYS.

Sir, —Rflgardiiif, (.he agitation going on about tlie tramways, 1 would' like to suggest thai while there may be some truth in favour of the anti-league movement, there is still raoro to bo said in favour of the trams. A'ow, as regards laml-jobtieii 1 have no axe to grind, being ivithin easy distance of the llutt statin!!. The Hi;lt truly 1,1 a residential district, but for whom: the working man or the capitalist? It is the latter thai jvould bo sorry to sec I lie trams si. that it may be kept select, i'opie who caii keep- their motor-oars and buggies can better afford to live in town. As for sections waiting to bo built on they will have- to wait a long time if the residents are lulled to sleep by the anti-league. How many men and families ivoiild it rot support firstin forming trie lines, and afterwards I In , employees ? Those people would have to live, and would' if not bring tradu into the two places? The anti-league would take a broader view of things in geiiornl. And now about the business people of Llie district. Jfany of them could do with a little more support. As to the rates: we want more ratepayers !o distribute Mio burden ovor. 'Themore work -11111 business file more people would lie needed. Look, for inr.lanee. at our library; why do we have to pay ip.i. per year for our subscriptions? Simply because we have so few to subarriV-. ' It is always! the way when them is not suflieie.ut to hear the burden (be few feel tlie weight and then they cry out. There is also another f|Uest-iou <h be considered. Mow many people do Iliu traina hriinr out on bolirbivs and Sundays during tho summer mouths, and where do they go t*>? The. anti-league should keep flu-it eyes open arid 3eo the. ,?<!Ojjle striegling

with their little ones and their picnic p baskets, jlany of them coulii pay their t> fares on the trams that could not pay C 6d. or Is. on the buses, even if their g was room, which there is not tor one- oi third. TiOt _ the people vote for the 1, : anti-Icagui l it they wish the llutfc to I; remain asleep as it is at the present t; time, but if they want » prosperous a little suburb let them voto for the p trams which mean, in .the near future, j" ( electric "iVe can wait for the s Town Hall till v.e get the trams to talce y. the people to it. It wouid enhance i the value of both. Thanking you ]. in anticipation, —1 am, etc., „ TRAMV, AYS. 'I
